Hi there!! I had this same situation happen. Did the lumpectomy and radiation in 2003 and in 2007, I found something else. I remember the first posting I ever did on a website and I was scared!...
They really don't know what to call it. They don't feel that it is anything to worry about , but they may suggest I have my ovary out at some point. They really don't feel that it would go to my...
They did my thyrogen test this year and it came back at a level of 9.1. Without a thyroid, it should have been less than 2. I had papillary as well, but I had one lymph node positive. It was the one...
I had the radioactive iodine twice. Once last year after my surgery and then again this year because my thyrogen test came back with a level of 9.1. I had 150 mcg each time. I felt a lot worse this...
I have had it twice now and my theme song during both was: Radioactive!...
I have had the radioactive iodine twice now. 151 mcg each time. I spent all my time at home though. I had to sleep apart from my husband and our pets for 4 nights. I couldn't use the same bathroom or...
I have been thinking of you! I am glad you are home and that things went well. Your throat will feel odd for a bit, but it does go away. I had my surgery a year and a half ago and the scar actually...
I have asked that question too and I have pretty much found what you have. They say rads can contribute, but usually it wouldn't show up for many years later. I still think there must be some kind of...
Thank you!! See my post above to Tavish for an update on me!...
I went through the surgery 2 years ago. It went very well so I will be wishing the same for you!...
Lori! It has been a long time since I posted here, but I remember that our breast cancers were very similar. I too had papillary thyroid cancer. I got it back in 2006 and had it removed along with...
I haven't been on the site a lot in the last couple of years, but I do always stop by to see how everyone is doing. Today, I can use your help. I was diagnosed last week with a recurrence. I can't...
It has been some time since I posted here. I usually just pop in now and then to see how everyone is doing. Well, this time I could use your prayes and advice. I had my usual 6 month CT scan done in...
Thanks everyone for the information. My friend has already been off the Tamoxifen since October and is trying to get pregnant. I hope her dr. knows what he is doing. I think the herceptin thing...
Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. I just had my last 6 month appt last week and my CT scan and bloodwork were just fine. I had a breast MRI in December as well and that was clear. My...
I haven't posted in awhile, but I have been visiting and keeping all of you in my prayers. Some encouragement for new and old, I am coming up on 2 years since diagnosis. I just went this week for my...
Thank you to everyone for their good thoughts. I called for my blood test results and they said it all looks great! I know I am doing great because of the support here. I am always pulling for...
Saw my oncologist and he said things look good. I guess I have some subpleural nodules that are non-specific and he is not concerned about them. They have been on all my scans and there could be any...
I haven't posted in awhile, but I have been checking in on everyone. I am heading to my oncologist at 11am today for results of CT scan. I had one in June and September so this is a routine one, but...
oops! I had a typo. Brett Favre's wife will do chemo and radiation....
I remember the Ann Jillian movie too. Living in Green Bay, I have been watching Brett Favre's wife's story. She is 35 and just underwent a lumpectomy. She will not do chemo and radiation. It is...
I talked to my surgeon and my oncologist's nurse. Neither seems concerned. The fact that I had a CT scan in September and a yeast infection that same month may have something to do with things too....
I have been taking Tamoxifen since June of this year. My period has been pretty weird over the last year with all the surgeries, chemo, and radiation, but I have still gottena period. It usually...
Well, I am back from the doctor! They still see the simple cyst that I had looked at back in May. The new lump I felt appears to be just a thickening of tissue. My surgeon as well as the radiologist...
Donna! SO good to hear from you! Thank you for the well wishes. I am sure everything is fine, but I would rather have things checked out so that I feel better about it. I go in Friday at 9am! Sam...
I haven't posted in awhile, but I have been keeping tabs on everyone. I have been sad about some postings, but very encouraged by others. I am going to see my surgeon next Friday. I feel some...
